well i have an axiety disorder. i have the same symtoms. i am on lexapro and it seems to help me. it is a scary thing especailly when you dont know when they are gonna hit. just be careful and try not to stress to much.

you need to see your doctor, before it gets out of hand. try to collect data for yourself as to why it happens and narrow it down. it might help.

---

keep a journal of this & let your Dr. know

what's going on

my sister in law is bipolar & she has

anxiety too, some days she's fine & other

days she worries about every little thing,

know that you are NOT the only one who

has this & keep talking to your Dr. until

he/she finds the best medicine to help you

& if you believe in God , prayer helps too

best of luck

Absolutely, same things happen to me. What helps me is finding someone to talk to when I start to feel nervous. Even if I don't talk about anything important, having someone else involved in your life right then makes you feel more grounded and less likely to let things snowball. If you can't find or call someone, just concentrate on things about your life that make you happy, and try to find something to do that will distract you.

Also, look into meditation or yoga. It's a little new age-y, I know, but really, really helps.

stop the Fluoxetine. mentally focus on what ur going through.

Well that is a big part of it, the fear you are living in , cause you have had attacks. Now you are always waiting and worrying about them. Just forget about them, and learn to let them float over or pass or through you, and you will find that they will quit coming back at all, but as long as you are fearing them, then you are thinking about them, and that is what is causing them to happen so often, you need to learn to let go of them, and they will in time let go of you.

Yes, I have had bad panic/anxiety attacks for many years. Prozac and the other antidepressants did not ever work for me. Look up serotonin syndrome, and make sure you don't get any symptoms. We've found that xanax or Valium work best (benzodiazipines have been around a long time). Xanax is faster acting. However, doctors don't like to put you on it if you have ever been addicted to anything. It's because, they can be addicting, but, if used correctly a miracle of true relief for anxiety! I have functioned now for years taking it only when needed. Before, I could hardly function.
